Top 230+ lbs technicians?

Even if Tyson's timing was off, he looked AWFUL against Mathis in a way that he didn't look awful against McNeeley, Bruno or Holyfield. Until he landed that that one punch, he was missing like a drunk.

 

Good spot on Mathis jnr. Not a likely candidate but it makes sense when you think about it.
Pity the guy had shitty power for a heavyweight.

 

If he'd had good power and better conditioning, I suspect we'd be talking about him in any list of "most avoided boxers of all time". He, along in fact with a prime Tyson and a prime Frazier, stands as one of the heavyweights who managed to turn their short stature in a big advantage over their taller opponents. A short boxer with good head movement is just as difficult to handle as a tall boxer with good reflexes.

 

How about Lawrence Clay Bey?

I've seen him described as a (natural) heavyweight James Toney, and it fit.

Damned slick fighter.

Dropped Wlad as an amateur and supposedly should have been given the nod over him.

 

I'm a little surprised to see Lewis not getting mentioned more. And I'm very surprised to see Bowe being given so much love. Bowe had good boxing skills, and an excellent jab, but in other areas he was woeful from a technical standpoint. He couldn't even throw a straight right hand properly, he always had to throw it as a looping, overhand right.

 

John Tate was a good boxer

 

A very awkward technician who never got as far as he probably could have if he would have taken his career a lot more serious was Mike the bounty Hunter sr.. RIP.

 

Gerry Cooney was so what underrated also, with great power in the left hook.
